Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Liluye! Liluye, where are you?" A frantic voice called as a yellow-gold blur swooped into the banquet hall, very nearly tearing down the decorations that had taken Iris and Koda a month to set up. Like Liluye, Tuaria had been down visiting with the taur, and like Liluye, she had only just heard of the new male egg's recent arrival. The news of the ceremony hadn't gotten to her until today, when her mother had sent for her to attend. Natalie, a pygmie holiday harpy, had relayed the message to Tuaria herself. She hoped she wouldn't get caught by her elders, but unlike Liluye, Tuaria wasn't so very good at remaining inconspicuous.

As the fast-flying harpy dove sharply to avoid colliding with a very intricate display of ornamentation, she tumbled across the room head over tail, a flurry of golden feathers leaving a trail in her wake. Finally, she came to a halt, looking quite frazzled as she righted herself. "Uh oh..." she mumbled guiltily, suddenly aware of her dramatic entrance. It would be difficult to avoid significant notice now. Luckily, her mother didn't seem to be among the harpies present, but she had no doubt her mother would learn of her doings soon enough.

"I'm sorry..." Tuaria apologized with a sheepish grin, crimson coloring her pale, peach face. "Um...am I late? Did I miss anything?" As she glanced around awkwardly, she spotted Liluye, her bronze-feathered friend with whom she had been conversing with earlier in the day. She raised her wing ever so slightly and chanced a little wave in her direction.

Liluye stared with a shocked expression during Tuaria's entrance, half hiding behind her wings as she yelled her name. She winced at the near collision, then again as she tumbled, before glancing around nervously. She waved back weakly, though still having one wing raised as some sort of weak disguise. And she'd been caught. Oh dear...she had to say though, that display was marvelously entertaining nonetheless.

(*coos at the egg* cuute babies)

it would have been a pity if the decorations had been ruined, they looked like allot of care was put into them for this event. but she had found the satiation rather amusing, the careless nature of children, and the reactions it brought out in adults.
by just looking at her colors she would have sworn that Harpie was a male, though she was quite obviously not. the sudden appearance of all that color swooping down and scolding the child drew most of her attention, but it didn't remain there long, as an odd feeling pecked at her, and she glanced to the side to see the other Harpie looking back at her.
eyes flashing nervously to the ground, her feathers ruffling as she shook her arms uneasily.

Iris sighed, then released the chick. She shouldn't be taking out her temper on the little ones just because Koda ruffled her feathers. "It's alright little one. Go on and play. Just be mindful of the decorations. They took me a very long time." That said, she sent the little golden harpy on her way with a pat on the back and a light shove. Then, frowning, she glanced towards the brightly colored egg in the center. With all luck, it would have a better fate than she.

Liluye saw she'd been released and grinned, hopping over to her. See? Everyone was too distracted by the eggs that Liluye wasn't interested in in the slightest. They were just eggs, and when they hatched, they wouldn't be much fun to play with. "That was fun to watch," she chirped as she reach Tuaria. "But your landing could use some work."

"May I ask where you hail from? I try to keep up with all the ladies around here, pardon me if I'm being rude but I simply cannot place you."
